Links News- Friday 26th May, 2023
Dear Links families,
The end of this half term has come around really quickly and I want to thank you for all your support for the school this last few weeks and in particular for the way in which many of you have welcomed me into the Links school community. I hope you and your families are able to spend some time together and have some rest before we begin the last half term of the school year, which is always a busy one with lots of exciting events and activities.
Just a reminder that Monday 5th June is a Staff Training Day and school will be closed to all pupils. We look forward to welcoming them back into school on Tuesday 6th June.

Attendance
It really is so important for your child to be in school every day. If your child is just feeling a little bit under the weather, it’s fine to send them in. Please rest assured that we will always call you if they need to be picked up.
If your child is absent from school, please make sure that you report the reason for your child’s absence- if you don’t we are unable to authorise the absence. The easiest way to do this is via the free Studybugs app.
